A wealthy person with a reading panel

Chapter 12 A bar of gold!
Unlike the simple single room Zhou Qing rented on the sixth floor, the three-bedroom apartment on the second floor where the female landlord lived was luxuriously decorated in a modern European style and was also kept very clean. Zhou Qing had rarely seen such high-end houses in real life, and he subconsciously looked inside the house. Unexpectedly, another mature woman in cool clothes came into his sight.

This woman was much prettier than the landlady and much younger, about thirty-one or thirty-two years old, with a tall figure of about 1.7 meters. Her strength was not as exaggerated as the landlady's, but it should not be underestimated. Under her delicate white collarbone, the pink and blue silk pajamas were stretched out into a full curve.

The most eye-catching thing is the pair of slender and well-proportioned legs exposed from under the hem of the lace pajamas. They are so white that it is dazzling.

This kind of woman with a hot body and fair skin is very attractive to young men full of vigor. Zhou Qing couldn't help but stare at her for two and a half seconds. After realizing that it was impolite, he quickly looked away.

In order to avoid suspicion, he turned around and didn't look inside the house.

Li Wanxiu was half asleep. She had just finished a big order before coming to her best friend's house in the morning and was very tired. She slept until now and woke up thirsty to look for water to drink, but she was still dazed.

When I realized what was happening, I didn't care and continued to go to the kitchen to look for the water dispenser.

After drinking two glasses of water, she was completely awake. She went out of the kitchen and found that the door to the living room was closed. Her best friend was sitting on the sofa with her arms crossed, waiting for her: "I'm going to sleep as soon as you get here. Do you think this place is a hotel?"

"Woman, I know you'll be alone in your empty room for a while, so I came here with good intentions to keep you company."

Li Wanxiu smiled as she walked over and leaned against her bestie's soft body. She squinted her eyes, and thought of the boy who had turned away when he saw her in her pajamas at the door. She asked, "Sister Jiaojiao, what did that handsome boy want to talk to you about just now?"

The landlady Lin Jiao said, "A new tenant came to me to get the access card for the downstairs entrance."

……

Zhou Qing took the access card, went downstairs, and walked to the fast food restaurant he often went to these days.

But the beautiful scenery I just saw could not help but come to my mind again.

"I'm thinking about women."

Now that I have more than 70,000 yuan in my card, I am not so anxious about making money. It is normal for me to start thinking about women. After all, I am 21 years old now, which is the age to think about women.

Speaking of which, the girl just now is not only beautiful and has a good figure, but also has skin as white as snow.

Novels often say that the skin of a top-notch woman is as white as cream. That’s probably what it’s like. I wonder what it feels like to touch it.

When they arrived at the fast food restaurant, it was not yet lunchtime and the set meals were not on sale yet, but the restaurant also served stir-fried dishes and rice. He ordered a dish of boneless meat with green peppers for 18 yuan, paid, and found a seat to sit down.

"Women will come later. The most important thing right now is to hurry up and read through "Water Margin" and see what good things you can get by reading the Four Great Classics!"

While waiting for the meal to be served, Zhou Qing was not idle. He took out his mobile phone to open the "Study Strong Nation" app, searched for "Water Margin", and quickly found the e-book version published by Zhonghua Book Company.

I clicked on it and took a look, and the content was consistent with the version published by Sunshine Publishing House.

"I forgot to buy a copy of the Sunshine Press paper edition in advance."

He moved the software to the background, clicked on the Taobao app to search, and quickly found a set of four famous classics that were exactly the same as the ones integrated into the panel. He filled in his current address and placed an order directly.

As soon as I paid, I switched the page back to Xuexi Qiangguo, and the green pepper and meat rice I ordered was served.

Pick up your chopsticks, read while eating, and add text to your meal:

"Take the lead."

"The poem goes: Look at the secluded places in the forest of books, where so many handsome and elegant scholars live. They worry nothing about fame and small profits, cutting down soldiers and shearing snow, chatting and laughing while watching the Wu hook."

……

"Water Margin" is generally believed to be the first chapter-based novel written in vernacular Chinese by Shi Nai'an in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty.

It tells the story of the 108 heroes of Liangshan.

The opening chapter introduces a narrative of immortals, first mentioning Chen Tuan, then stating that Song Renzong was the reincarnation of the Barefoot Immortal, assisted by Bao Zheng, the God of Literature, and Di Qing, the God of War. Finally, the main text unfolds, explaining the origins of the 108 heroes of Liangshan: the 36 Celestial Beings and 72 Divine Fiends descended from heaven to wreak havoc on the Zhao dynasty. Zhou Qing had known the stories of the Liangshan heroes since childhood, having read excerpts from Water Margin in school and skimmed through the opening pages of the Four Great Classics when he acquired them, but he had never read the novels in their entirety.

Once I read it, I was immediately fascinated.

Even his eating movements became slower, and it took him half an hour to finish a bowl of rice.

When I got back to the rental house, I didn't stop. I either sat at the desk or lay on the bed with a pillow. In short, I never put my phone down and was enjoying it.

On the morning of the third day, when the paper version of the Four Great Classical Novels he bought on Taobao was delivered by the courier, he had already read "Chapter 99: The Flower Monk Freed from the Tangled Well, and the Water from the Hunjiang Dragon Flooded the City of Taiyuan."

I am used to reading novels on my mobile phone. I like to find a comfortable position to lie down and read. But now I find it not so convenient to read the thick paper version.

So even though the paper book has arrived, it is still left on the desk gathering dust.

After another half day, at around eight o'clock in the evening of the third day, he finally saw the last chapter: the spirit of Song Gongming gathered in Liaoerwa, and Emperor Huizong wandered in Liangshanpo in his sleep.

"Later, Song Gongming repeatedly appeared in the divine presence, and the people offered him sacrifices throughout the four seasons... He also wrote: "In life, he was a noble, in death, a man's life's ambition is fulfilled. Iron horses neigh at night, the moon rises at dawn; black apes howl in autumn, the clouds thicken at dusk. I don't need to seek the source for the original work, but I like to use loyalty and goodness as a topic of conversation. For thousands of years, the reed valley has buried jade, and the falling flowers and crying birds always bring me sorrow."

The talk about gods at the end actually diluted Zhou Qing's emotions from the accumulation of reading in the past few days.

After reading it, I felt something in my mind, and immediately called out the panel——

Name: Zhou Qing

Currently reading: "Water Margin" [Read through, do you want to draw items in the text]

……

"First accumulate ten draws."

"I spent another three days reading Water Margin. I can finally try to draw from the Four Great Classics!"

Zhou Qing rubbed his hands and got up from the bed.

In order to quickly accumulate the number of draws, he chose novellas seven times in a row. After reading them all, regardless of whether he performed rituals like bathing or not, the things he drew were all small gadgets with very low real value, so he gave up that idea a long time ago.

However, now that he was about to try to extract the Four Great Classics for the first time, he felt it was better to be more formal - no matter whether it was useful or not, he would go take a bath first!
Take a shower, brush your teeth, and change into clean clothes.

Fifteen minutes later, Zhou Qing sat down at the desk refreshed, called out the panel again, took a deep breath, concentrated his attention, and chose "only draw, not take".

As the thought came to his mind, the "Water Margin" book, which was glowing purple in the background of the panel, immediately returned to darkness, but a purple star appeared on the cover, and then a passage emerged in his mind:
After reading it, Song Jiang lifted the front of his shirt and pulled out the recruitment envelope. As he opened it, Liu Tang took out the gold and placed it on the table... Liu Tang was a straightforward man, and seeing Song Jiang's refusal, he assumed he was unwilling to accept it, so he wrapped the gold as before.

A fragment from the novel flashed by, and the panel changed accordingly -

Name: Zhou Qing

Currently reading: None

Complete reading library: "The Mistake by the River", "The Return of the Condor Heroes", etc.
Intensive reading completion library: None

Cumulative number of draws: 0
Extractable items: a gold ingot, a bottle of methaqualone, a black travel bag, pebbles, etc.

……

Among the “extractable items”, there was suddenly an additional “ingot of gold”!
Zhou Qing blinked, then suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Gold!

It’s a gold ingot from the Song Dynasty!
